I don’t know what to think about the AI reading but I have read two pieces of writing recently that were generated by AI—a theatrical review and a reply to a political letter I wrote to my Congress person. Both had a kind of perfection that didn’t feel real. With the Congress letter I had the sinking feeling that it wasn’t worth contacting my representative again. She is like a place holder, I thought, like when you put your coat on a chair so no one else sits there. That’s the letter feeling—like a placeholder letter, no one there. And the review was startling to me because it was such a bad review, then the person who posted it said it was a joke, but again, I had the thought, did he really see the play?
I totally get this, the fake attempt at being real and failing. But I just recently read there is a way to train certain AI bots to mimic 'your voice' in terms of your written content. Specifically in marketing. I am fascinated and a little bit afraid. Will people have enough patience to discern what may sound bot-generated or was, in fact, created by a human?
Fascinating account. I too would have noticed all the numerical - seemingly coincidental - occurrences. I wonder who took those boxes! And I wonder what you put in them which warranted saving all these years...
So sorry about the cat you tried to befriend.
You inspired me to dig a little deeper with the AI connection regarding tarot. I hadn't realized you can use AI for tarot reading and although my initial bodily response is rejection (intuition isn't something AI is capable of - is it?) I am fascinated by the mindbogglingly fast evolution of generative AI. Thank you for the eloquent explanation, I'm intrigued and will stay tuned for more on this topic.
